What problem does it solve?
This Skill captures the standard, scalable approach to building Go CLIs that leverage Cobra for command trees and Viper for configuration, reducing boilerplate and ensuring consistent patterns across projects.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Command structure with a minimal root command and modular subcommands (e.g., serve, migrate, status) to reflect real-world CLI architectures.
- Configuration layering via persistent flags bound to Viper, supporting environment variables, config files, and defaults for predictable behavior.
- Common patterns like version embedding, shell completions, and testable CLI commands; you can expand or adapt these patterns to fit your tooling or deployment workflows.
- Use Case: Build a deployment tool with multiple commands to manage services across environments.
Quick Start
Create a minimal Go CLI project with a root command and a sample subcommand following the Cobra+Viper structure described.
